Eating gluten free and low carb makes a world of difference in how I feel on a day to day basis. It's very true that many people have a sensitivity to gluten which they don't even realize they have until it is cut out of their diet. I am about 85% paleo/gluten free/low carb. I'm relatively strict during the week with what I eat and I usually have a free day on the weekends. This free day includes carbs, beer, etc. However, more and more these free days are becoming much less worth it because I end up feeling like such garbage the following day. During the week when I stick to consuming lots of vegetables (especially leafy greens), protein (as much fish as possible), and some healthy fats - I feel amazing. I feel strong and energized. I have no fatigue, no bloating, no GERD symptoms. People often forget that the most powerful medicine for us is in the foods we choose to eat. Everything you put in your mouth makes a difference in your body. Honestly, I think carbohydrates, wheat, gluten, etc...are just not good for us. Especially in the amount that Americans consume on a daily basis. Sure, in moderation, carbs/gluten can very much so be a part of a healthy diet, but moderation is obviously key and I think that if someone chooses to cut out carbs/gluten completely from their diet, it does absolutely no harm.

ETA: Also, I'm a huge fan of Dr. Mark Hyman and I highly recommend checking out his website:
